Management of all required operations within a specific timeframe and a predetermined budget.
The project's objective is to deliver the final product: a constructed structure ready for use.
The project manager oversees all processes throughout the construction. They are the implementer on behalf of the entrepreneur and a key figure in the construction industry, usually possessing engineering knowledge and practical experience. Knowledge and experience are the two key requirements for the success of a project manager. In recent years, there has been a surge in the construction industry in the country, leading to a demand in the job market for professional and skilled project managers.
Their responsibilities include:
Managing and monitoring the planning and execution of the project.Integrating and coordinating project needs.Adhering to the project timeline and budget.
Control throughout all stages.
Initiation Stage:
Identification of the motivating need driving the project.
Planning Stage:
This stage involves the preparation of numerous work plans and their coordination.
Execution Stage:
The most crucial and challenging stage in the project involves determining the method and manner of execution.
Delivery Stage:
The final stage in the project and the ultimate one. This stage includes the completion of the project and its handover to the client.
Identification of the driving need for the project:
Definition of business goals, feasibility checks, and economic viability.
Establishment of a time framework (timeline).
Output of the Initiation Stage:
Decision to initiate the project, creation of an initial project content document – a zero report (project report), appointment of a project manager.
This stage is particularly significant, and planning should be conducted with great thoroughness. This stage includes the preparation of numerous work plans and their coordination. The most crucial is the architectural plan (integration plan), which dictates how the project will be conducted in practice and how its various components will interact with each other.
This is the most expensive and challenging stage in the project. Determining the method and manner of execution involves:
Selecting contractors/suppliers and signing contracts accordingly.
Planning a detailed and comprehensive schedule specifying the process of project establishment and the integration of various disciplines in the project establishment process.
Preparation of updated quantity takeoffs and cost estimates for completion (updated budget).
Activating contractors/suppliers and various resources based on the work plans established in the planning stage and the schedule in the execution stage. Work plans are usually updated during implementation. Throughout the project, and especially in this stage, control is carried out by the project manager.
Control Process: Planning versus actual execution is an ongoing and guiding process. As a result, changes to the schedule, a reevaluation of the working method, and additional factors may occur. The goal is to monitor performance continuously, and if there is a deviation, make real-time corrections.
The last and final stage in the project. This stage includes the completion of the project and its handover to the client.
Issuing Form 4 (Occupancy Approval).
Conducting the structure's inspection.
Occupying the structure.
Comprehensive evaluation of all project objectives, especially in terms of budget and schedule.
